 This article is about an ally in Mahou Sentai Magiranger.
|
Heavenly Arch Saint Magiel (天空大聖者マジエル Tenkū Daiseija Majieru) is the Heavenly Saint of all Magic, she is referred to as the leader and the most powerful of the Heavenly Saints. She hails from the Heavenly Temple, the highest point in Magitopia, and is a Giantess.
At first she refused to let the Ozu siblings borrow Horned Sacred Horse Unigolon due to the fact that Magitopian law dictates that only humans can deal with matters on their own. Magiel even admitted she frowned on both Heavenly Saint Blagel's choice to sacrifice himself and Miyuki Ozu's intent to learn magic. But after seeing the same courage their parents showed, Magiel allowed them Unigolon's aid 
TV STORY-Mahou Sentai Magiranger the Movie: Bride of Infershia and made a later exception on the distribution of the Legendary Magicians' power to the Ozu Siblings.
Magiel was confronted by Absolute God N Ma when he came to Magitopia, but Magiel sealed N Ma in an orb of fire called the Hollow Mirage. N Ma broke the orb and began destroying Magitopia. Before Magiel was seemingly killed, she managed to teleport Lunagel away to the human world. TV STORY-Stage 48: Decisive Battle Magiel was later revealed to have survived N Ma's assault by teleporting away to the Flower Garden of Souls. A year after N Ma's destruction, she was still getting used to a human (Urara Ozu) living on the rebuilt Magitopia. TV STORY-Final Stage: Return to Legends
Behind the scenes[]
Portrayal[]
Magiel was portrayed by the late tokusatsu veteran Machiko Soga (曽我 町子 Soga Machiko) in her only non-villain role in Super Sentai. Sadly, this also turned out to be her final toku role due to her death not so long after Boukenger began airing in Spring 2006. As a tribute, the adapted character in Power Rangers Mystic Force would be written as being the same character as her previous role Rita Repulsa (Witch Bandora).
Notes[]
- Her name is a combination of magic and angel.
- The role of Magiel was initially offered to Masumi Okada who had to decline due to his poor health and Machiko Soga was brought on. However, at the time, Soga was already suffering from pancreatic cancer, but was still able to perform the role. Okada passed away on May 29th, three weeks after Soga's death.[1]
